As long as your a fan of the 1911, I suppose your OK. I know there are a few others floating around, but other than maybe a SIG P220, I cant think of them right now.
Some were listed earlier in this thread. EAA (Tanfoglio) has also been producing guns in .38 Super and 10mm for well over a decade now. S&W offers the Super and basically all manufacturers of 1911s offer it. Keep in mind that the resurgence of the 1911 in the late 1990s brought into being a larger international market for the 1911 and with it the Super.
Is that because its use has become more prevalent in the games arenas?
No. I mentioned this earlier. The 38 Super still has an important place in IPSC and IDPA competition but it no longer dominates there as it did in the late 1980s to the late 1990s or so. One reason for that was the appearance of other guns and calibers other than the 1911 in 45 and 38 Super which could make major. The polymer framed guns and the 40 S&W made inroads on the Supers dominance. So the Super is less dominant in competition than it was but more commercial loads are available particularly from Cor-Bon and Double Tap. Armscorp and Aguila also introduced new loads for the Super.
No, they arent knocked out, but they have been knocked down a good bit. From the standpoint of law enforcement, I think it has pretty much knocked both out.
Well here you need to study some on the history of what rounds have been used in law enforcement since the transition to semis in the 1980s when the 9mm was the go to round. You are off base a bit here as well. But more on that later.
